Bigman with polish post skills are extremely rare now, despite Tim Duncan and probably Al Jefferson, who’s post moves are better than Monroe’s? They should trade him for a guy who’s natural position is SF/SG with some consistent outside shooting.

Sat, 11 Jan 2014 13:25:58 +0000https://nbcprobasketballtalk.wordpress.com/?p=691188#comment-266868Det. even bigger prob. is a small pg who is a career 39% shooter who shoots 15 plus times a game, can’t finish at the rim and cant cover anybody. Also Jennings and smith are low BB IQ players who have bad contracts. So how about monroe for kwie lenord from SA. Don’t know what filler would be needed but SA needs a big and Det. needs a wing that can play defense.

Is there a #3 seat on the bench? That’s where KCP should go. wow he’s REALLY REALLY struggling. He would no’t be starting anywhere else right now. The only thing he does is play perimeter D….his shot is so far off right now, he doesn’t help on the boards or playmaking…he’s really awful out of the gate. He’ll get better, but he was supposed to be a shooter! Kerry Kittles type guy….Scary Skittles is more like it…damn he’s bad.

Fri, 10 Jan 2014 19:27:42 +0000https://nbcprobasketballtalk.wordpress.com/?p=691188#comment-266642If Joe was serious about it, he’d find a way to get Evan Turner for Monroe. Thad Young created the same problem as he’s an ineffective wing but has played a lot better at the 4, so no go there. I get Turner is a horrible shooter…but a point forwardy long defender at SF at SF is what they need…assuming KCP and Brandon Jennings start hitting anything from outside. Afflalo and Tobias Harris?

Another option is to get a real SG for Monroe and hope you hit on a SF in the draft…Eric Gordon? Ugly contract, injury issues…

Or, keep Monroe, sign Granger in the offseason and draft a SF.

Not a lot of great options….

Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:04:02 +0000https://nbcprobasketballtalk.wordpress.com/?p=691188#comment-266520Even if they wanted to move him, its going to really be hard like is stated to get the right value. Especially since they would be looking for not only a team that wants a young big (plenty of those out there), but also one with a quality SF they are willing to give up… Deals built around the likes of Jeff Green, Wilson Chandler or Galo dont really equal out well for the Pistons.

Fri, 10 Jan 2014 15:00:07 +0000https://nbcprobasketballtalk.wordpress.com/?p=691188#comment-266518I agree, i think the Pistons have put themselves in a bad spot. The signing of Smith makes no sense in hindsight for this team. He’s been pretty awful, and if his contact wasn’t on the books the Pistons would be fine.

Not only does this team play well when all three are on the floor, but they can’t shoot FT’s and they turn the ball over way too much. Not to mention their awful 3PT%.

I think for those reasons they have to shake it up and do something. That will probably mean trading Monroe eventually. The bigger issue is who they could trade with. Monroe is appealing, but most teams that could use a player like him can’t give any real value back. I wish the Sixers would do something with Thad Young in a deal like that, but it would be a longshot at best.
